If you enjoy the flavour of your usual coffee but not the jitters, and decaf never quite satisfies, Noffee, our expertly roasted chicory coffee could be the ritual you have been looking for. It delivers warmth, depth, and comfort, all without caffeine.

Why Replace Coffee with a Chicory Substitute?

Chicory coffee is naturally caffeine free, which means you avoid the jitters, crashes, and disrupted sleep that can come with coffee. Because it naturally contains no caffeine at all, it can be enjoyed at any time of the day, from a morning ritual to an evening drink. It is also gluten free, vegan, and fully plant based, making it suitable for a wide range of dietary needs.

Chicory root has been used in traditional Chinese medicine as a liver-supporting tonic, and in Ayurveda it has long been associated with calming Pitta and restoring balance. These references sit within historic holistic systems, but they show how deeply rooted chicory is as a plant with cultural significance.

For Noffee, the focus is on bringing that traditional ingredient into modern routines in a way that feels simple, warm, and enjoyable. It offers the comfort of a familiar-feeling drink, but without caffeine, acidity, or heaviness.

Sustainability also plays a central role. Noffee is created with care for the earth and for the people involved across the supply chain, keeping the process thoughtful from start to finish.

You can make Noffee in the way that suits you best, strong and black, long and light, or as a cappuccino, latte, iced drink, or anything in between. It is a chicory coffee you can shape to your own taste, moment by moment.

Flavour Notes You Can Expect From a Shot of Chicory Coffee

A shot of Noffee has a depth that feels familiar yet pleasantly different. The first sip brings a gentle roasted warmth, followed by a soft sweetness that leans towards caramel. There is a subtle nutty note running through it, adding another layer of comfort without ever becoming overpowering. The natural flavours of expertly roasted chicory coffee!

It is smooth rather than sharp, with none of the acidity you might expect from traditional coffee. As it settles, the flavour becomes round and steady, with an earthy character that feels grounding and calm.

This balance is what makes Noffee so enjoyable to use. It gives you the richness you want from a strong base, but with a finish that stays mellow, warm, and easy to drink at any time of day.

Popular Chicory Coffee Menu Items

For most of the drinks below, we recommend extracting a shot of Noffee using an espresso machine or a pod machine. This gives you a smooth, concentrated base equivalent to a traditional double shot of coffee, with the warm depth chicory coffee is known for.

For an Americano, however, a French press or moka pot is often ideal. These methods create a slightly softer, longer brew that works beautifully when topped with hot water.

If you are brewing by hand, use a much smaller amount than you would with coffee, around one to two teaspoons per serving is usually enough, as Noffee has a naturally strong character.

Above all, treat this as something you can shape to your own taste. Adjust the amount of Noffee, the steeping time, or the intensity of your shot until you find the balance that feels right for you. The beauty of chicory coffee is how naturally it adapts, whether you prefer something bold and rich or gentle and mellow.

Add milk and sweeteners as preferred to make your favourite version of Noffee.

Espresso

An espresso made with Noffee gives you a short, concentrated shot of chicory coffee with warm roasted notes, natural sweetness, and a smooth finish. It is a simple way to enjoy the depth of Noffee without any additions. You can keep it as it is, or adjust the strength by using a slightly longer or shorter extraction until it matches your preference.

Americano

An Americano combines a longer brew of Noffee with hot water, creating a lighter, gentler drink that still holds its flavour. Brewing in a French press or moka pot works especially well here, giving you a soft and steady base before topping up with water. You can enjoy it black or add a splash of milk of your choice for a mellower finish.

Latte

A latte is made by pairing a shot of Noffee with steamed milk of your choice, creating a drink that is smooth, warm, and comforting. The natural sweetness of chicory coffee works well with a wide range of milks, from dairy to plant based. You can add syrups such as vanilla or caramel if you prefer, and adjust sweetness until it feels right for you.

Cappuccino

A cappuccino is a foamier alternative to a latte. Combine a shot of chicory coffee with foamed milk of your choice, giving you a lighter, airy texture on top of the warm chicory base. The flavour stays rich but never sharp, making it ideal for those who enjoy a balance between strong and creamy. You can keep it unsweetened or add a small amount of sugar or syrup to taste.

Flat White

A flat white is a stronger, silkier style of milk drink, made with a concentrated shot of chicory coffee and a smaller amount of steamed milk of your choice. It has a smooth, rounded flavour with a slightly more pronounced chicory character than a latte. You can adjust the ratio of milk to Noffee until it suits the level of richness you enjoy.

Mocha

If sweeter drinks are what you prefer, then a chicory coffee mocha is the one for you. This blends Noffee with a shot of melted chocolate or cocoa powder, then finished with a steamed milk of your choice. The chocolate does tend to add its own sweetness, so you can keep it as is or increase the sweetness depending on how intense you like it.

Dirty Chai

A dirty chai adds the most flavour to a shot of chicory coffee. You will notice cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, all sitting comfortably against the warm, caramel, and nutty notes of chicory coffee. You can use a chai concentrate or your own spice blend, then finish with steamed milk of your choice. It is one of the most expressive ways to enjoy Noffee, and you can make it stronger or softer depending on how bold you like the spices to be.

Chicory Coffee Iced Drinks for Warmer Days

On warmer days chicory coffee becomes a refreshing canvas for iced drinks that feel light yet full-flavoured. Any of the drinks you already know; espresso, Americano, latte, mocha, dirty chai, can be adapted to an iced version, giving you the same warm, roasted, nutty charm of chicory coffee in a cool format.

Here’s how to make the shift smoother:

• Use a strong base. Brew a shot of Noffee (or a longer extraction if you prefer) so that when you add ice and cold milk or water, the flavour remains intact rather than diluted.
• Chill quickly, and serve over ice. Once brewed, cool the chicory coffee shot slightly before pouring over ice. Letting it sit too long before chilling can soften the flavour.
• Keep sweeteners and milk of your choice optional. Cold drinks often feel sweeter, so start with less syrup or sweetener and adjust until it’s just right for you. Use milk of your choice, dairy-free or otherwise, and consider adding it last so you see the layering.
• Experiment with flavour pairings. The mild, nutty, caramel notes of chicory coffee work beautifully with cold formats. Try adding a splash of oat milk and a light vanilla syrup for a chilled latte. 
• Cold brew alternative. For a longer steeped option, you might cold-brew chicory coffee by mixing grounds with cold water and letting it sit 12–24 hours. 
• Serve anytime. Because chicory coffee is naturally caffeine-free, you can confidently enjoy a chilled version at any time of day, afternoon, early evening or under the sun, without worrying about a late-night wake-up.

Chicory coffee gives you the chance to enjoy familiar drinks in a calmer, smoother way that adapts easily to your day. From a simple espresso to a spiced dirty chai or an iced drink on warm afternoons, each cup highlights a different side of Noffee, the roasted depth, the gentle caramel notes, the nutty warmth, and the steady feeling that comes from knowing you will not experience jitters or crashes. It is a versatile ingredient that fits into any moment, shaped entirely by how you choose to brew it.
